Home is on an isolated island, people are on a tragic way, Reivew on City Island

The word City Island sounds a bit literary, but it is actually a suburb of New York City, an island where the middle and lower classes live. At the beginning, I thought it was an independent film with a strong literary atmosphere because of the title, but later I discovered that the film was actually a family comedy. The family structure of the protagonist Vince is the same as that of the freak family in "Little Miss Sunshine": his wife feels that life is empty and tired of housework; her daughter secretly becomes a stripper because of the cancellation of the school scholarship; the youngest son has a crazy obsession with fat girls; Vince One day, I suddenly discovered that a handsome guy in the prison turned out to be the son he abandoned back then, and as a prison guard himself, he dreamed of becoming an actor... The film follows Vince secretly learning performances and the eldest son and Vince’s family misunderstandings. The clue unfolds: The so-called love of performance is actually a symbol of Vince's difficulty in real life. The actor Andy Garcia is low-key and sullen, and the occasional neurotic interpretation makes the character come alive and looks very enjoyable. Another clue to the family is nothing more than misunderstandings and contradictions. Various conflicts erupted, and then family affection flashed. The family finally returned to laughter and laughter. The plot is interesting and interesting, and the numbers are still too old-fashioned. Putting aside some far-fetched plots (Vince’s criminal son is too honest and innocent), "Urban Island" is good-looking, warm, and inspirational enough, and it’s really good to be a movie dessert.
